So many questions. First off, it took a lot of time and effort betwen me and Rodimus to come up with them. So of it is based on speculation, some on known facts, and some on what we know of GF. That's first. Also, as far as the matrixes. Well, we decided that the matrix each one held, we would base it upon what is distinctive about them. So Nitro Convoy in GF is supposed to be really fast, so he holds the Matrix of Speed. Life Convoy turns into a resuce helicoptor, so he has the Matrix of Life. So on and so forth. You can pm either me or Rodimus regarding questions that he and i deem fit to answer. This was an okay question to answer, since it's been revealed. So questions about things that have yet to be revealed, or are not clear, pm either one of us, and we'll determine if we should answer it, and if it has to wait so it won't spoil the surprise, we'll let you know.

Chapter 22

 

"Megatron stop right there and leave those children alone!" "And why would I do that?" "Because I`m going to stop you from getting the minicons!" "You and what army?" "This army Hotshot, Redalert!" "Starscream, Demolisher attack!"

 

**********

 

"Rodimus my dear I do believe we`ve seen that planet before." "Really where?" "It`s Unicron!" "Then we`ll stop him again! I did just get a new matrix so what`s to say that I can`t just do the same thing I did back in 2005." "I agree dad we`ll stop Unicron once and for all." "No you can`t you still need training." "That`s right you do Rodimus and I`m the one who`s going to teach you." "Yes Scavenger."

 

**********

 

"Unicron sir I have returned." "JUST IN TIME SCOURGE. RODIMUS AND HIS SON APROACH." "I will destroy all who are on that ship." "SEE THAT YOU DO. AND DO NOT FAIL ME!"

 

**********

 

"Rodimus look it`s Optimus but he`s painted black. He looks like he needs help." "Stop the ship!" "What`s the problem?" "That`s not Optimus it`s Scourge." "The dark copy of Optimus Prime???" "No, not quite he is in fact older than Optimus----Wait whats go-ing --o-o-o-nnnnn?" Rodimus I am the matrix of the inferno "What but that`s not. Oh this is a matrix vision what is it you want to show me?" I am the matrix of the inferno however I am one of the original 13 matrixes "13 matrixes!?!" Yes 13 matrixes you are about to face one of the original 13 matrix bearers. "Really who?" Nemesis Prime who you know as Scourge. "What are you talking about?" That is all for now just be careful and I will protect you. "Um well thank you." "Your welcome Rodimus but who were you talking to just now?" "Um no body I just uh had a matrix vision that`s all." "Well that Scourge guy is attacking the ship!" "Not for long!"

 

Outside the ship. "Scourge stop!" "You don`t really think that a bot who transforms into a pickup could ever stop me a tankor truck do you?" "I may be smaller than you but I have taken on much larger opponents and won including your master Unicron." "Oh really well Unicron doesn`t have the matrix of power does he?" "No but I have the matrix of the inferno!" "Ah so you have the matrix of the inferno which belonged to Fire Prime." "Yes Primus said that it was meant for me." "Well I`ll rip that matrix from your chest and give it to one of my soldiers!" "Not if I take yours first." "Taste my sword!" SLASH! SWIPE!SWISH!SLASH! "Come on you couldn`t slice the broad side of a planet with that sword!" "I`ll show you how well I can use my sword!" "Well I don`t have a sword but I do have a cannon!" FOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"Ahhhhhh!" "Gold mode!Here I come Nemesis Prime I will defeat you like you defeated Fire Prime eons ago!" And with that Rodimus took the matrix of power from Scourge`s chest and placed it within his ship and continued on to finish Unicron once and for all.

 

End Chapter 22

Short and sweet. Well done.

Excellent chapter guys.

We're hoping to get some more done this week. :tfgrin

Nice. You should ask Beejumus to illistrate a comic for some of the fight scenes. He made a prototype comic for The Librarian's StarFormers fanfic.

That's a thought. I'll pm Rodimus and see what he thinks about this idea. If we agree on it, one of us will pm Beejamus and ask him about it.

Chapter 23

 

With Nemisis Prime out of the picture, Rodimus and crew continued on their set course. UNICRON.

 

"Blurr, what's the situation?" asked Rodimus.

 

"It'snotaproblemRodimus.Notaproblematall.We'regoodtogoandsetforaction.Yup.Nobodycangetthejobdonefasterthanme.

Nobody.Nobody.Nobody.What.DinbotsarecomingRodimus.LookslikeSlagSludgeandSnarl.Iw

nderwhereGrimlockandSwoopare.Youwantmeto

openthedoorforthemtocomeinRodimus.Huh,huh,doyou?Iwillifyouwantmeto."

 

Rodimus put up his hands. "Okay, okay Blurr. Slow down. Yes, open the door for them. We'll see what they want, and then continue on our course of action regarding Unicron." He turned to his son. "C'mon. Let's go and meet the Dinobots and see what they want kiddo."

 

Rodimus said "Okay dad." to his father.

 

****************

 

"Okay. Open the bridge to link to their ship."

 

Rodimus activated the linkage bridge and linked the two ships. Slag, Sludge, and Snarl came across and into Rodimus One.

 

"Slag. What brings you here. And where's Grimlock and Swoop?" Rodimus asked.

 

"Little yellow Autobot put in charge of Dinobots when gone to get Mini-Cons from Decepticons. Little Optimus not know good leadership skills. Grimlock and Swoop killed in battle. We leave them to be with you. We follow your orders Rodimus Prime. No more little 'bots giving orders to Dinobots." He then grabbed Rodimus by the "cuff" and snarled in his face "UNDERSTAND!" he said through clenched teeth and exhaust steam coming from his mouth.

 

Rodimus, after he was put back down, could clearly see that the Dinobots were not happy at losing two of their comrades. He turned to his son. "Sorry Rodimus. I know I said that you could be in charge, but here's how it will work. You tell me what to do, and then I'll relay the order to the Dinobo--WHOA!"

 

Slag grabbed Rodimus Prime. "NO! NO LITTLE 'BOTS GIVING DINOBOTS ORDERS. RODIMUS PRIME IN CHARGE, OR WE LEAVE. WE NEED LEADER TO FOLLOW, AND WE THOUGHT RODIMUS PRIME GOOD CHOICE FOR LEADER. NO LITTLE AUTOBOTS LEADING!"

 

"Okay Slag. Okay. Sorry Rodimus. For this mission, I'm leading. Okay."

 

Rodimus just stared at Sludge and Snarl, who were examining him.

 

"Me Sludge think little Rodimus too small. More like Minibot size."

 

"Me Snarl think he not worthy of leading Dinbots. Slag right. Rodimus Prime lead us. Not puny little bot."

 

Rodimus Prime just rolled his eyes.

 

****************

 

Optimus was in his shuttle. He was using the special program Masterminicon and Primus had made for him to try and track down the other Matrixes. He had a signal coming from a planet. The planet's name was Speedia. He figured from the name, that he'd find Nitro Prime there.

 

He decided to send word to Primus that he might have found Nitro and the Matrix of Speed.

 

****************

 

Masterminicon came running up. "PRIMUS. PRIMUS. He found Nitro. Or, well, at least he thinks he has. Hmmm. I really feel I should have left with him to help him defend himself."

 

"SORRY MASTERMINICON OLD FRIEND. IF YOU FEEL YOU SHOULD, I'LL LET YOU. I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO LET ME KNOW IF OPTIMUS HAS FOUND ANY OTHER MATRIXES."

 

"Well...How about Vector Prime. He could come out of his CR chamber for a bit. I'm sure he would appreciate it."

 

"HMMM. OKAY. WAKE HIM, BUT JUST FOR THIS. THEN WHEN YOU AND PRIME COME BACK WITH THE OTHER PRIMES AND MATRIXES, AND WE STABILIZE THE MATRIX OF TIME, THEN HE GOES BACK INTO SLUMBER."

 

"Right Primus. Masterminicon, Transform." He transformed into a sleek sports car, and raced off to do what he needed to do.

 

****************

 

Hours after he sent the message to Cybertron, Prime became aware of an incoming signal. All that was on the screen were two letters. "MM" He smiled beneath his mouthplate. He knew who it was. It was Masterminicon. But then he frowned. Why wasn't he with Primus.

 

He let him on board, with the shuttle on autopilot. "Masterminicon. Why are you here. Why aren't you with Primus?"

 

"Wow. I come all this way to help you, and all I get is flak. Maybe I should just turn around. What do you take me for Optimus, a fool. I didn't leave Primus unattended. Remember he told you that Vector Prime is still on Cybertron. I left him and Alpha Trion in charge of what I did. I came to help you. You're going to face some challenges, and your authority will be challenged. I came to help you since I'm Primus' personl Mini-Con. I bear not only the mark of the Autobots, but also Primus. And if you find any of the original Primes, they're going to question the authenticity of your claims. But with my by your side, it shouldn't be a problem. I can even transform into a shield should you need it. And a sports car for speedy getaways. I can even pull heavy weights like your trailer, or even you. I have a cousin who's in the same range of power as me. His name is Rollout. He too is the only other special Mini-Con on Cybertron. He powerlinks to form the head of his partner, Overload. So let me help you."

 

Prime thought for a minute. What Masterminicon said made sense. He looked down at Primus' partner. "Okay. You can come along. What you said makes sense. I can see where you can help me in my quest. After our stop on Speedia, and we pick up Nitro Prime, we'll see if we can find Rodimus Prime."

 

End of Chapter 23

Excellent, Masterminicon.

Thanks Taz.
